What it is
A colour lithograph poster for Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride, opera in four acts, at the Théâtre National de l'Opéra-Comique, dated 1900. The BnF credits the lithograph to Paul Maurou after a photograph by Nadar.
Why it matters
The national theatre used a photographic portrait as the source for the stone.
What to notice
Photograph and lithograph meet on one sheet: Nadar's likeness, Maurou's colour.
For one decade, the street was the gallery.
